About Our Kindergarten

"Children are free to play, explore and imagine”

Our Kindergarten provides a loving and caring environment in which pre-schoolers (3 - 5 years) are nurtured in preparation for Primary One - their ﬁrst day in the Green Blazer.

Children are given the time and space they need to be children, they are free to play, explore and imagine. Through play, they begin to ﬁnd what they are good at and enjoy, with specialist teachers delivering Art, Music, PE, Science and Modern Languages.

We want to open children’s minds to discover a deeper delight in learning. They are encouraged to be curious, to want to ﬁnd out more, to do more, to be more - engaging with the Ignatian principle of the Magis as the norm.

Through play they share fun and learning together in a way that develops their social and interpersonal skills, beginning to understand the importance of caring for and helping one another. Each child has the attentive care and knowledge of a Key Worker who monitors progress, checking in regularly with parents.

Our Kindergarten pupils are fully involved in the liturgical life of the College, leading assemblies and attending Mass. Each day begins in prayer and ends in reﬂection, helping develop the children’s ability to see God in all things.

All of these factors have one common goal - to prepare our pre-schoolers as they begin their journey of discernment, which we hope will become a fulﬁlling Green Blazer adventure.
